The supermarket behemoth launched the new technology in response to the positive feedback received from its initial self-checkout setup in Monread, Naas, Co Kildare. T

The following Co Dublin shops will have many of these experimental checkouts: Sallynoggin, Newlands Cross, and Coolock.

Self-service checkouts will be implemented in 16 more stores located in the counties of Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Kerry, Cavan, and Clare over the months of June and July.

Customers will be able to make contactless and cash payments at the new terminals. The new self-service tills will be used in conjunction with the current manned checkout lines.

Colin Breslin, MD of Buying & Services at Aldi, stated: “We're constantly searching for ways to improve and enhance our customers' in-store experiences. We think these new checkout options will improve the overall experience, and we're excited to see and learn from our customers' reactions to having this new option available.”

“As well as providing outstanding quality products at unbeatable prices, we are focused on giving our customers an efficient and simple experience in our store.”
